OK i obviously have a G2 (D802) its an unlocked open variant and im on the three network with Unlimited Data and 2GB of tethering allowance.
i am running stock softwares and currently on D80220H-EUR-XX (Kit Kat) when i tether via WiFi it DOES NOT log any of the data i use so in affect i have unlimited data on tethering. i broke the screen on my G2 so for a while i had to use a blackberry and tethered from that albeit only on 3G , this also allowed me to tether via WIFI unlimited not logging any of the data i used on the 3 app telling my my allowances. the phone is now fixed.
now to my problem i have flashed D80230D (vodafones leak) and D80230B-EUR-XX (open) both of these work fine but as soon as i tether via WiFi it starts registering the data that i use and i can suddenly see my tethering allowance going down.
now i know this is what it is meant to do but im wondering what has changed and why does it not register the usage on kit kat or when i use a Blackberry. being able to use my phone tethered unlimited is saving me over £20 a month in broadband fees so ideally i would like to continue to use it.
i know i can just stick on kit kat but im due an upgrade in 5 months so if we can figure this out i might be able to continue with my unlimited tethering.

my dorm is out of internet for a week and all my work is online. with sprint i know there is a separate plan/fee to use you phone as a modem, how about with tmobile? can i connect my phone and get on the internet without a huge fee?
The unlimited data plan with TMO is $19.99 now if I'm not mistaken.. it used to be $29.99 but apparently it just went down.

As long as you have data plan Tmobile does not charge additional fees for tethered internet sharing (USB or Bluetooth)
alright i'll try it then. i have unlimited data so i guess im good. with sprint even if you had unlimited data you had to pay extra to use you phone as a modem
Hello all I have a HTC/Fuze (Raphael) with AT&T and can access the web just fine. I however did not get a data plan on the the phone..just an unlimited text to talk family plan. This is an offered plan in case you do not want a data plan. My question is how can you tell if you are using your wifi to access the internet and not the att network. I don't want to be charged for using the internet (since i have no data plan)...I went to the att store yesterday and they told me I can still get charged for using their network to access the net even though I have no data plan... can anyone help me with this question?
Thanks.

you need to use the HTC data connection application. you should be able to totally disallow any internet connection.
I am using an Orbit 2 on O2 UK, when wifi is connected it will only use it until disconnected or out of range, then reverts back to 3G.
You will know when it reverts back because the speed of the internet will slow significantly.
I completely disable/delete the medianet and AT&T ISP profiles so that it doesn't ever connect over 3G.
I have the same setup as you (but with a Tilt, no data plan). Download Modaco No Data cab, install and disable the ISP (the first option). This will turn off data usage but still allow you to send and recieve text and MMS.
I want to know, does wifi tethering on this rom need that extra tethering plan from at&t, or does it work with my regular data plan. Don't want to start using it and having at&t charging me double what im paying now just to use the data i have the way i want >.<

With Liberated FR008 the wifi tethering uses the phone's data connection and does not require the AT&T tethering package.
Liberated will allow you to to tether, but you might want to watch out for a notice from AT&T. If they somehow figure out you're tethering, they automatically switch you to the tethered plan.
Ok, thanks both of you. I don't think i will get the message considering I only have a 200 mb data plan, and the only place i will use the tether is my iPod touch. Plus i dont think anybody using android has gotten the message yet, just iPhone users.
XDA,
Recently bought an AT&T S4 with hopes to unlock it and use my T-Mobile SIM in it. I've done some reading and noticed native wifi tether was removed from the rom although it was in 4.3 and below. What I need in particular is to know if there are any roms, or apps that would allow me to have unlimited wifi tethering, provided I have truly unlimited phone data?
I currently use a T-Mobile Note 4 and the rom I'm using has "unrestricted wifi tethering mod" built in. Which allows for unlimited tethering. Is there a way I could do this on the S4 through rom or app?
Appreciate it in advance.
Hello!
First of all please excuse me if I asked this question in the wrong place.
My problem is that I live in a town in the UK where the broadband is so bad that it doesn't go over 200 kb/s downloading so I bought an unlimited data plan from Three with 30Gb tethering allowance. I have a weak 4g signal here with speeds upto on a clear day 5Mb/s.
Now that 30Gb turned out to be not enough so I would like to get it to be unlimited. I tried many apps from the app store but only 1-2 works but only via USB and I would need it to be working with the WIFI.(I bought foxfi but it only works via usb not wifi)
Does anyone know a way so that I can get unlimited tethering allowance with three on my p8 lite via wifi?
Thank you,
